An efficient method of purifying bisphenol-A is presented whereby solvent washing of the bisphenol-A crystals and extraction of impurities, bisphenol-A and phenol from the aqueous liquid of a water/bisphenol-A crystal slurry is accomplished simultaneously and in a continuous operation. The method involves contacting the water/bisphenol-A crystals with an organic washing solvent in a continuous, multi-stage, countercurrent extraction column. |
